Economic Recovery Fund

The Economic Recovery Fund (ERF) is a unique, innovative grant fund that aims to support local economic recovery in local high streets by empowering local groups of businesses to implement changes themselves. 

About The Economic Recovery Fund in Sheffield

The Economic Recovery Fund supported local businesses and organisations to get people visiting and spending money in their neighbourhoods. That meant anything from delivering events for businesses to connect with customers; creating exciting new features to draw people in; making the high street a nicer place to spend time; or something completely different. Solutions are designed by local people for local people, using their insight into what would work on their high street.

Our 12th century heritage

The Castle site is situated at the confluence of the River Don and Sheaf, and is but a short distance from Manor Lodge - which was a vast green space and prime deer hunting area for many centuries.
